themselVES, and Tino.
sorry
Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.
it is suffocation that led all those unfortunate people to throw themself from the WTC. too sad.
in fact dino, the wall painting can burn at higher temperatures (more than 800 C). that's why i asked should we open rather than close when against contained indoor fire.

drsam, there are actually lots of combustible materials inside our houses like our sofa, curtains, clothes, cabinets, papers, etc. and there are also lots of causes that could start a fire like faulty electrical wiring, overheated A/C's and electric fans, leaky LPG tanks and unattended cigarettes to mention some. So let's all be careful especially to those who are living in accommodations with no fire/smoke alarms and no emergency/fire exits at all. And one more thing, it is not only the fire than could kill us, but more of the suffocation from smoke. So let us all be SAFE.
Good Pics Ojo,Thanks
should doors and windows be opened in case of fire or do the opposite one should try to cut air from it by closing doors?
the reason i'm asking is that all the researchs i made point to giving air to an indoor confined fire in order to lower its heat. while the common concept is the opposite!

to hear the ideas and opinions of Qataris. One of the big complaints I hear is that so many people feel they don't have the chance to meet and talk to Qataris. It's just that you can probably set a more positive tone.
It's nice to hear of your personal connection to the event. It's a job well done that no one was seriously hurt :-)

KHATTAK, they are. Both my brother and my cousin are firemen. Only Qataris can be in the Police, Firefighters. Now please don't talk about what you don't know.
PM I'm not sorry I'm just shedding light on the other side of all these discussions since it's always expats speaking about us Qataris.
i'm no pyrotechnic or anything near. but come to think of it, what can ignite in a house? specialy in qatar or lebanon... or where houses r not build of wood. no carpets, no wood, ...

In times of trouble and disaster people come together to carry each other! It’s the one of the all good thing that GOD has been proven for so many times!

Lighten up and stop feeling so sorry for yourself as a Qatari!

Hope everyone affected is alive. I do feel Najma/Mansoura area is a bit on the crowded side. Stay safe everyone !
*Bunga*
Citizen journalism at its best?
Funny from reading on QL I thought Qataris were lazy and didn't care about anyone but themselves but here we are, Qataris risking their lifes to save these people.
Now let's see who started the fire......
That hot god bless them
Hope clothes not get fire
Yeah I saw the fire also, lots of smoke coming from that area.
All residents reportedly ok. I was told by one tenant who lived on the top floor no smoke/fire alarms went off, he just 'smelled the smoke'.
i saw the building concerned at around 11.15pm. there are so many people around it and a long ladder is extended to the highest floor. The building has no power. Though I was not able to see any fire at that time.. I hope that no one is hurt.
hope everyone is safe...
